you’re pulling this off a campaign website. most of that data is already spun to some angle. Do some independent research. The united states is tied to many countries around the world through its military, these are actions that developed long before any current circumstance, and for better or worse are not going to change cause Ron Paul said so. It is worth taking some time and really looking hard at the reality of the world and realizing that blanket withdraws not only don’t work, but place the responsibility of behavior upon a party that was never part of the process.

It is a flawed judgment to say that pulling straight out of Iraq is the only way, it is also just as flawed to demand that an oppressed people (that never overthrew their leader, he was invaded) develop their own democracy. Democracy comes from and is protected by those that demand it. The Iraqis never demanded democracy, we did.

It is the job of the U.S. to begin a peace accord to end this conflict with all parties, not an uninformed withdraw without regard to long term consequence.

Iran is a real threat to the U.S. Not because they have nuclear weapons. But because they are on a fast track to eliminate oil dependency. Oil is running out in the world, it is a finite resource. 10, 15,500 years from now..it doesn’t matter. Iran will be stable and oil free, the USA will not. That is when this nation becomes dangerous, in no way before this magic date.

Ron Paul is all about govt reduction, but those reductions only help those that don’t need it. No support of free market helps the destitute or the oppressed. The trickle down effect is a proven failure.

Ron Paul has a lot of fans, and a lot of flawed politics. It’s not for any president to block off options. It’s not the role of the office. You can think what you will about the candidate, but the leader of the country never creates self-imposed limits. that is the balance of government. OF COURSE no one will take it off the table.

Israel is a powerful lobby, but it is also a nation full of Americans. Many many many americans travel and live there and have relatives. Like it or not, we will maintain a strong association with that country because we do have such close ties there.

Pee wee, I’d love it if you read more than what was on Mr. Paul’s website. But you haven’t. I’m a leftist socialist that’s all about peace and love, but there are some cold harsh facts that mr. paul’s policies don’t abide with.

On top of that he’s a straight up republican that is against homosexuality, and for the 10 commandments on state building land.

He can take that and shove it.

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

Thanks for the site link. I took the time to review his voting record and found that he’s introduced legislation to REPEAL the Patriot Act (as well as voting against in the first place). He’s also called fo the withdrawl of ALL US troops, from all over the world – no more military empire. Obama, Clinton, (and Pelosi, as speaker) have all said NO option is off the table concerneing Iran. That means NUKES. Even Kucinich, while criticizing the recent resolution against Ahmadinejad, expressed COMPLETE support the fascist Israelis. Uh, no thanks.

NO EMPIRE. Ron Paul for President. (thanks blogger for the info)

I am sorry that you can’t have a conversation with someone and not feel like you are being hounded or followed. You do know they have drugs to combat paranoid schizophrenia, right?

From http://www.dictionary.com is that better?

Again, Ron Paul is trying to reduce the size of the Federal government and none of his supporters want anything to do with stringent economic controls, nor do they want Ron Paul as a dictator.

You just won’t admit you misspoke when calling his supporters Nazi Fascists

BTW, when you call Ron Paul supporters Fascists you might want to look the word up.

Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and other societal interests subordinate to the needs of the state, and seeks to forge a type of national unity, usually based on, but not limited to, ethnic, cultural, or racial attributes.

Since both Ron Paul and his supporters think that the individual is key to a free nation your use of fascists shows how ignorantly and blithely you throw that word around.

“Internet trolls spam websites to drown out everything except when Ron Paul belts out another clever sound bite.”

You presented absolutly no evidence for either of these positions. You can’t expect to launch baseless “facts” and maintain a single ounce of credibility.

To arbitrarily throw out the ruling of the court is to throw out a serious pillar of our culture and system of government.

When Ron Paul says that roe v wade ruined it for everyone it still attacks the idea that the court system protects the minority, and that a strong federal system is needed for that. And to advocate that a human/personal rights issue is to be decided by local levels defies the sense of protection many minority views in America needs.

So, when Ron Paul supports the rights of the local state in this issue, he is doing so over the rights of the individual. This can be seen as a greater issue with libertarianism, but Ron Paul isn’t a libertarian. He is a Republican.
